I'm in the USA right now and I sure wish there was an equivalent choice in the USA.

The #corporatization problem is world-wide.

There was a time when Pride felt intimate. Not small, exactly, but personal. Like it belonged to us in ways that actually mattered.
But something has shifted.
#Pride is starting to feel less like resistance and more like a marketing opportunity.

@StephenRees Both #Ontario and #BritishColumbia have been captured by #extractiveIndustries and developers. The #corporatization of these provinces intends to roll over #humanrights, #IndigenousRights and title, #ecosystems health, and liveable #environments.

The AI killer app will be virtual friends. They can even go to work and school with you. Soon kids without one will be seen as weird. They will be much more emotionally useful than anything else. #AI #corporations #Corporatization #mentalhealth

Barbara Ehrenreich's book "Natural Causes: An Epidemic of Wellness, the Certainty of Dying, & Killing Ourselves to Live Longer" was sort of a strange #read. I'm usually a big fan, but she had her contrarianism cranked up to 110% here. If read thoughtful, it's a decent critique of #medicalization, and the #corporatization of longevity & death/dying. But, she seems to selectively use research, without noting the average benefits of #PreventativeMedicine. Also uses lots of anecdotal exceptions.
